âThreatenedâ ?
Donald Jr will not leave that unanswered⌠Kimberley, tooâŚ
I am not worthy! (bows repeatedly)
Junior, and other like-(simple)minded individuals should think seriously before getting into a twitter fight or any other kind of verbal skirmish with AOC.
And right wing media will pretend that she never apologized. Theyâll just scream about the âunprecedented threatsâ and âviciousnessâ from AOC. Theyâll also suggest that as a woman, sheâs too emotional and too prone to respond to responsible criticism with a tweet. And not a one will see the irony.
Weâll see incoming Dems temper their hubris and provocative statements. Being unnecessarily antagonistic and courting controversy isnât needed when youâre in the majority. Be the glacier, not the snow storm.
Winners spend about 5 minutes admiring their trophy and then realize thereâs another season to prepare for.
Juniorâs protest makes him look very guilty. Such a Bad Little Boy.
She does what the Trumps claim to doâhit back harder. So Iâm going to refrain from offering her fatherly advice. Sheâs doing fine without it.
I like AOC!!! But, honestly, she should quit apologizing for what she says so much. What she says is what it is.
Eh, Iâd say itâs only framed as an apology. Sheâs calling him a cowardly whiner.
What she says is what it is.
How nice to see a politician having fun!
She is not yet the chair or high ranking member of any Committee with subpoena power. She is not going to be issuing a single subpoena herself.
I am a constituent who gladly voted for her in the Primary against Crowley and the Election. She needs to stop. Really.
I could probably be her father, too. My son is just slightly younger than her.
Insulting a member of a group with subpoena powers after everyone knows you lied - Iâm glad she pointed out the sheer stupidity of that.
Or theyâll spin it that by apologizing she caved and backed off, like dems always do. Either way, sheâs an evil c*nt, so repugs win.
Iâd like to see her channel Michelle Obama a little more: when they go low, we go high.
Junior used a bizarre meme to try to attack her. Rather than responding by adding fuel to the fire, she might consider pointing out how pathetic his attempts are. If theyâre supposed to be humorous, theyâre not. If theyâre supposed to be truthful, theyâre not. If theyâre supposed to be offensive, they are only to the extent they show how lame he is. Nail him and similar âcriticsâ by taking them at their word and punching holes in the absurdities they spout.
Do not apologize to these vermin, ever. Theyâll just insult you more.
And it was good legal advice. Stop that, too. They have the BEST lawyers, like Crazy Uncle Rudy.
Even her apology stung harder than jrâs ham handed insult. Good for her, sheâs quick enough on her feet not to need paternalistic hand holding, I agree with your interpretation #mattinpa
Sorry, Don Jr. is not a person worthy of an apology. Either way what with all these Trumptards that are turning into snowflakes overnight?
If thatâs how you feel as a voter then I guess thatâs more a thing she might consider. But sheâs been treated as a celebrity and an emblem of a new wave of lawmakers, so if they ask her to comment on things to me itâs not her fault. Also sheesh, everything in this new House is being triple-scrutinized as if political conflict were some astonishing new thing that just fell from the skies a week ago. What did we vote for them to do, exactly? Itâs going to get bumpy, and no initial surface modesty will change that much.
I do remember reading a million years ago about how Hillary came on real strong as a new Senator. It wasnât received well, less as a gender thing than a new-Senator thing, it didnât fit the culture, so she backed up, learned the ropes, formed friendships and alliances, and eventually became quite well liked and effective. If AOC needs to be lower-profile I imagine sheâll figure that out soon enough. Seems like a quick study to me.
